Well, I'm pleased to say that the triathlon went better than expected. 5 hrs 35 mins in total which I think is around the mid-finishing time so given my grey hair and receding hairline, that's not bad. I jogged the run, starting slowly and finishing even slower at just under 2 hrs. I managed to resist walking apart from the water stops and fortunately no severe aches and pains during or after the race. My expected dodgy knee behaved itself as did my abductor strain although I didn't really put them under any pressure apart from the sheer length of the exercise. Don't think I've ever done 5 and a half hours exercise in anything, not even in my marathon days, so all in all a good day.
All I need to do now is build up my running training for the next one.
